21st century, Eastern Sea City's high-ranked private hospital, Department Head's office.
Thunk went the thick stack of medical reports on the table. Department Head Lin's complexion was ashen and he was beside himself with rage.
"Han Yunxi! Mr. Li is one of Soaring Cloud Conglomerate's directors that possesses 40% of our hospital's equality shares. You have to treat his poison first".
Faced with the man's wrath, Han Yunxi stuck both hands in pockets of her doctor's cote, completely calm. "Department Head Lin, I'm sorry, but Mr. Li's been afflicted with a slow-acting snake venom. Unless it's critical situation, I won't let him cut the front of line".
She was fresh and pure beauty, with large eyes and two dimples. Despise her youth, her astounding talent with acupuncture had made her well-known in the traditional Chinese madicine circle as a seldom-seen detoxification expert. whether it was chemistry-based poison or endotoxins within the body, eliminating either counted amongst her strong points.
"You! Get it straight woman! This is Soaring Cloud Coglomerate!" The department head was indignant enough to slam the table and rise to his feet in anger.
"Department Head, I'll say it again. Mr. Li's condition isn't urgent. No matter who he is, before a doctore, everyone is.... before Han Yunxi could finish, she was interrupted.
"Enough, don't talk to me about equality in a doctor's eyes. There are only difference between men and woman. Han Yunxi, let me tell you arrange to treat his poison immediately or else you can leave the medical community today!"
A warning? He thought that'd scare her, but her face so calm as ever.
"Department Head Lin, there's no difference between men and woman for me either, only people I will or I won't help. I'm not helping Mr. Li, so please find someone better qualified!"
When she finished, she gave a polite smile and turn to leave. That thin and delicate body was grateful and unhurried, with a beautiful tranquility that revealed and lofty, unyielding character. But as Han Yunxi opened the door, Department Head Lin suddenly explode with fury.
"Han Yunxi how dare you talk to me like this! I'm telling you to stop!"
So speaking, he heaved a thick stack of medical reports toward her skull. seized with shock, Han Yunxi felt a trickling warmth trailing down the back of her head. A little stunned, she turned to look back, but before she could catch sight of Department Head Lin, her entire body collapsed.......
3,000 Years Ago, Country of Tianning
Han Yunxi woke up groggily inside a bridal sedan chair, hearing the jubilant sound of celebration around her. Someone was playing suona and beating the drums, and a veil of darkness shrouded her eyes.
What was going on?
Han Yunxi moved the thing on her head, glanced at it and sucked in a cold breath. Wasn't this a bridal veil? Examining herself from head to toe, she discovered she was dressed in a pheonix cornet and an embroidered tasseled cape, just like a bride on her way to get married ..... Ridiculous!
The sedan chair rocked and bumped, giving Han Yunxi a headache as a foreign memories began pouring into her brain. Somehow (but undoubtedly) she had time-traveled and was now being married off!
The original owner of this body was the daughter of the Han family matriarch in the country of Tianning The daughter's name was also Han Yunxi. Because her mother had once used her medical skills to save the previous empress (now the empress dowager), has been betrothed to the seventh prince (now the Duck of Qin, Long Feiye). Her mother's deed had been praised far and wide as a well known story, sharply elevating the Han family's social status.
But, who know tjat Han Yunxi's birth would kill her mother, or that she'd grow to be a useless, ugly girl who didn't have any medical skills? Tje proposed marriage to the Duck of the Qin was delayed again and again until it became a taboo topic. Yet, just in the last few days, the Duck of Qin had offended the emperor who had commanded the wedding take place before the month was over.
Today was her wedding day.
This Duck of Qin, Long Feiye, had been bestowed his title in his youth. He was the only prince left after struggles for the emperor throne, not more than a little over 20 years old. Yet, within the royal heirarchy, he was the Imperial Uncle, which qualified him as the most important person in Tianning country short of the emperor himself.
The Duck of Qin lived in the southern part of the capital with the Han family resided in the north. The bridal sedan chair had to travel through the entire city to reach its destination. Even if the Duck of Qin didn't show his face, her trip still caused a sensation in the city.
While Hsn Yunxi was digesting this information, the joyful music outside her sedan chair abruptly stopped as the old wedding nanny cried out, "Terrible, terrible! This is the big problem!"
